Shapes that fit perfectly together are called a tessellation.

Tessellations
Shapes when tessellated fit neatly together with no overlaps or gaps
This is a pattern made up of identical shapes, they must fit together without any gaps and the shapes must not overlap. Multiple regular shapes are squares, triangles, hexagons and dodecagons
A simple tessellation is a pattern made of identical shapes. The shapes fit together without any gaps and do not overlap. An example of a simple tessellation would be a tiled floor.
It has the most sides (rather than squares or triangles), that can fit together in a matrix, without gaps.
In general, if they fit together without gaps or overlaps at the centre, the resulting shape will be a convex nonagon. If, in addition, the three diamond shapes are congruent then the shape is a regular hexagon.
Tessellation
Some shapes tile because they fit together.
Tessellation is repeating a pattern over and over and filling an area with no overlaps and no gaps. Some shapes can't do this, because they don't fit with themselves without leaving big gaps between the parts.
Tessallation is when you can fit shapes into a pattern without any gaps showing. Here's an example: When you put 2 triangles together, what shape does it make? It's makes a square. That's an example of tessallation, because there are no gaps in between the triangles, and it makes a perfect square.
Equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons(each fit together on its own/by itself)These are the only shapes that fit together on their ownYou can also make combinations like :octagons and squareshexagons and triangles
There are several 3D shapes that fit together to form larger structures. Some examples include cubes, which fit together to create a larger cube, and tetrahedrons, which can be arranged to form larger tetrahedron structures. Additionally, octahedrons and icosahedrons can be combined to create larger shapes as well.
